# Starve Ups Launch Pad: Connecting entrepreneurs with the resources they need

So you’ve been to Pitch Club. You’ve done a stint or two at Portland Startup Weekend. And now you’re looking for those connections that can help you take your business to the next level.

Well look no further. It’s time for another [Starve Ups Launch Pad](http://www.starveups.com/launchpad/index.asp?f=about_launch_pad "Starve Ups Launch Pad").

> Launch Pad is an intensive crash course covering the key aspects of building a business in the first 1-3 years.

> This one-of-a-kind event brings together founders and core management team members of 50 diverse early-stage companies from Oregon and Washington for a full-day of interactive panel sessions and competitive activities. Participants leave with tangible knowledge and new peer connections to help them build their businesses from that day on.

> It is the event that all entrepreneurs wish was available when they started their first company.

And best of all? It’s completely free.

Tons of good advice. Making connections with your peers in Portland. And getting involved with a group that will help you continue building an amazing company here in Portland.

The next Starve Ups Launch Pad will be held Saturday, May 5. But you have to hurry. Registration closes Friday.
